Question

suppose a Carnot engine has 1.00 mil of an ideal gas as its working fluid. it absorbs heat at 900k and gives up heat at 300k. the pressure at the start of the high temperature, isothermal expansion is 100.00 arm. the volume of gas increases by a factor of 3 in the isothermal expansion and decreases by a factor of 3 in the isothermal compression. calculate the efficiency of this engine. suppose a Carnot engine has 1.00 mil of an ideal gas as its working fluid. it absorbs heat at 900k and gives up heat at 300k. the pressure at the start of the high temperature, isothermal expansion is 100.00 arm. the volume of gas increases by a factor of 3 in the isothermal expansion and decreases by a factor of 3 in the isothermal compression. calculate the efficiency of this engine. suppose a Carnot engine has 1.00 mil of an ideal gas as its working fluid. it absorbs heat at 900k and gives up heat at 300k. the pressure at the start of the high temperature, isothermal expansion is 100.00 arm. the volume of gas increases by a factor of 3 in the isothermal expansion and decreases by a factor of 3 in the isothermal compression. calculate the efficiency of this engine.

Explanation / Answer

Carnoy efficiency= 1-Tc/TH= 1- 300/900= 1-1/3 =0.67
